    What is the JCR?
    The JCR is an annual report that distills citation trend data from the Web of Science Core Collection to 
    help you understand journal performance.
     • View Journal Impact Factor and other metrics.
     • Data represents a snapshot in time: the 2021 
       edition reflects citations from literature published 
       in 2020.
     • All journals in JCR are sourced from these indexes:
           ̶ Science Citation Index Expanded
           ̶ Social Sciences Citation Index
           ̶ Arts & Humanities Citation Index
           ̶ Emerging Sources Citation Index

       Collection.
